Duels and Honor

Unlike duels with swords, using these weapons leveled the playing field. These duels often arose from a desire to cleanse an insult to one's honor. The goal wasn't usually to kill but to achieve 'satisfaction' by restoring honor, even at the risk of one's life. This replica pistol is an iconic piece. In many countries, duels weren't a legal way to restore honor, forcing duelists to meet in secluded spots, usually at dawn.
